Topic: "A Soon To Be Lady"

A Soon To Be Lady by: Wayne Fiala


[D]She is our [G]baby, a soon to be [D]lady.And, I thank [A]God he gave [D]her to me.


The day she was [D]born,God [A]came to me in a [D]dream. Said:I've given you a daughter,


now she is your [G]baby,a soon to be [D]lady. And, [A]she is precious to [D]me.


[G]Be sure to love her, [D]take good care of her.And, [A]this is the way things, will [D]be.




She's three days [D]old, the weather is [A]cold.I'm drivng her home to our little [D]farm.


Mommy sings her a song.And [A]cuddels her close to keep her [D]warm.


She is our [G]baby, a soon to be [D]lady.And, [A]she is precious to [D]me.




As the days go [D]by,sometimes she [A]cries.And, gets little baby tears in her little baby [D]eyes.


Mommy rocks her in the cradle. And she, [G]sings her a song that I [D]wrote about her.


And Mommy's [A]voice sounds like the [G]voice of an an[D]gel. She should [G]be on TV,


singing on stage at-the [D]Grand Old Opry.And [A]somehow I knew, this is the way things, would [D]be.


In the blink of an [D]eye, time passes [A]by:And, she's a little bit [D]older.


[D]She comes to me,and [A]cries on my [D]sholder.She says:Daddy, my [G]boyfriend just broke-up


with [D]me.Oh, [A]I love him, but he [D]doesn't love me, and [A]now, my life is [D]over!I said: Sweetheart,


your [G]boyfriend didn't just [D]brake up with you.[A]God sent him a[D]way.And, [G]in his own time,


and [D]in his own way, he'll [A]send to you,Mr. Right,some [D]day.And [A]somehow I knew,



this is the way things, would [D]be.


In the blink of an [D]eye, time passes [A]by:And, She's a little bit [D]older.


[D]It's Late at night.From her [A]room I hear her sing-N-play gui[D]tar.And she's [G]singing a song


that she [D]wrote about me. And her, [A]voice sounds [G]just like her [D]mothers. She should [G]be on TV,


singing on stage at the [D]Grand Ol Opry.And, [A]somehow I knew, this is the way things, would [D]be.


In the blink of an [D]eye, time passes [A]by:And, She's a little bit [D]older.


[D]She comes to me,again she [A]cries on my [D]shoulder.She says:Daddy, I'm [G]going away,


I'm [D]leaving today.I'm [A]goin to Memphis Tenne[D]ssee. I'm gonna to [G]be on TV,


I'm gonna sing the songs you [D]wrote about me.


Daddy, I'm gonna make, [A]you and Mommy, proud of [D]me.


And [A]somehow I knew, this is the way things, would [D]be.


In the blink of an [D]eye, time passes [A]by:And, She's quite a bit [D]older.


Now she's in [G]NashVille Tennessee.We're watchin [D]her on TV.She's [A]singing on stage at the


[G]Grand Ol [D]Opry.She's [G]singing the songs that I [D]wrote about her. And she's, [A]singing the


songs that she [D]wrote about me.And, [A]somehow I knew, this is the way things, would [D]be.


God sent her,Mr. [D]Right.Now [G]she has a baby, a [D]soon to be lady, and [A]she is precious to


[D]me...And, [A]somehow I knew, this is the way things, would [D]be.
